    The problem is that did happen under a Labour government, quite often between 1997-2007 IIRC

    Starmer's biggest problem...one of Starmer's biggest problems is he unwittingly creates self-fulfilling prophecies, so if he's dumb enough to read McSweeney's script saying the next election will be Labour vs Reform he's going to make that happen because he talked them up as the main rival for something that won't happen for 3-4 years - which also suggests he and his team learned zero lessons from the Democrats managing to piss away last year's election

    Labour doesn't set the agenda, the press do.
    Well, it's more social media now and I'm sure you've noticed some changes since the election.
    Plenty of people pushing bullshit, just glad to have avoided being sent to the frontline...

    Which makes it Labour's job to push back against it, which they aren't doing

    Almost looks as if they thought the press barons would go easy on them once they got into power, which shows remarkable naivete

    They can't push back on it. They just have to do things.
    Pushing back doesn't work. They just ignore it or spin it into more bullshit.

    Sums up the world that a union-sinking scab who refused to work with people if he wasn't the one booked to go over and is the reason a sex criminal had a monopoly on the wrestling business for decades would be an icon for someone like Charlie Kirk...

    Thanks to the utter stupidity which Starmer could've left by the wayside that is the Online Safety Act, Pornhub has introduced mandatory age verification for its users

    In completely unrelated news, here is a record of people searching the term VPN

    Captain Pantshitter, July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen.

    Captain Kiddyfiddler, July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

    Interesting about how we're now having the Great Noticing about Peter Mandelson being good friends with Jeffrey Epstein, something which wasn't noticed at any point between 2017-24

    So we've already had the first reported data leak from the third party companies handling the Online Safety Act

    Just a reminder, they only started the rollout on Thursday

    Oh, that and it's listed Wikipedia as a porn site...

    Air drops of aid starting today, to supposedly alleviate the awful situation in Gaza - all thanks it seems to the benevolence of the IDF suspending the bombardment for 8 hours.These would be the air drops that international orgs and NGO's have already dismissed as likely to create as many problems as they solve.

    Increasing the chaos whilst the media happy to highlight their benevolence, must be a win-win for the IDF <doh>

    Hey, you know that book that ****pants McPaedophile has spent the past week saying it doesn't exist and, even if it did, he obviously never contributed to it?

    Well...

    That's the first page of the book which Trump claims doesn't exist and certainly doesn't have drawings of naked ladies with his signature used as pubic hair within

    Gee, I hope that the Republican candidate for California governor doesn't say anything antisemitic or fascist

    But he can still claim to know nothing about it as your original post stated.

    He didn't say he knows nothing about it

    He says that there is no book

    That's why the New York Times has started the drip feed
